The Chief Executive Officer of Tesla Motors Elon Musk had a training session with podcaster Lex Fridman to prepare for his potential bout with the Chief Executive Officer of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg.
Fridman is a computer scientist and a jiu-jitsu enthusiast who has a YouTube channel with three million subscribers where he also hosts Podcasts.
On Wednesday, the YouTuber tweeted photos of him with the Tesla owner where both were engaged in training.
“I did an impromptu training session with @elonmusk for a few hours yesterday. I'm extremely impressed with his strength, power, and skill, on the feet and on the ground. It was epic. It's really inspiring to see Elon and Mark doing martial arts.
But I think the world is served far better if they train martial arts but not fight in the cage. That said, as Elon says, the most entertaining outcome is the most likely... I'm there for them, no matter what,” Fridman tweeted.
A few days ago, the Podcaster tweeted a video of him training with Zuckerberg where he said on his Twitter that he is really inspired by the MMA journey of both icons.
“Here's a highlight video of Mark Zuckerberg and I training jiu jitsu. I look forward to training with @elonmusk as well. It's inspiring to see both Elon and Mark taking on the martial arts journey,” he tweeted.
However, both Musk and Zuck will have help from professionals should this fight took place as earlier this week, the former three-time UFC welterweight champion Champion Georges St-Pierre formally agreed to train with the Tesla owner.
It all started on Wednesday (June 21) when Musk responded to a report that Zuckerberg was going to launch his own version of Twitter, to which Elon responded, "I'm up for a cage match if he is lol [laugh out loud]".
The Facebook founder got wind of the tweet and decided to send up a message of his own, writing "Send me location," which suggests that he is really serious about the fight.
